A basic pentatonic lyre for introduction of music to the child. For use at home, in the kindergarten by musical games and storytelling and much more. The company Auris produces their products in Järna, Sweden based on anthroposophical knowledge of musical education. The Children's Lyre is a seven stringed instrument with a maple wooden open resonating body. It is pentatonically tuned and was developed for kindergarten and pre-school. This children's lyre allows particularly young children to practice free, basic music which is not bound to a base tone. The pentatonic scale allows the fingers to move freely over the strings always producing a harmonic tune. Due to its short string length the Auris Children's Pentatonic Lyre can be tuned extremely high. This has been successfully used to play for unborn or prematurely born children. This lyre can be tuned as high as g' - a' - c'' - d'' -e'' - g'' - a''. This high tuning corresponds better with the hearing frequencies of very little inner ears of the fetus or prematurely borne child. Music for these categories has been scientifically proven to stimulate and vivify both the intellectual and emotional development later on. Made in Sweden of Maple Wood. A = 432 Hz Range= d' - e' - g' - a' - h' - d'' - e'' Approx. Width: 8.6 inch (22 cm) x Height: 11.8 inch (30 cm) Comes with a tuning wrench and manual.
